TD 5 Smoking ??

[Springbok]

Is there somebody who can give me some pointers. My Discovery TD 5 has a smoking problem (blue smoke) when used at slow speeds and idling, but whilst I am traveling at normal speeds all seems to be ok,it does not use any oil, it starts without waiting for glow plugs to warm. I have got a unichip fitted. Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation

The turbos been changed, with no difference, methinks this is oil

Could be fuel pump timing. There's a long recent thread on this.

Hi Pastmaster

its blue smoke and it has electronic injection.

So sorry! But the symptoms were very similar. If it's definitely blue it must be oil. Valve guides? Rings???

Had something similar with my defender, i have a superchips upgrade which is the problem, smoke but no use of oil.
It is off to JE Engineering for a remap and intercooler, if you upgrade the fueling, it must be tested and matched to avoid problems like smoking, some of the cheaper upgrades only go for the power rather than an all round performance.

To all those who responded,my problem is fixed it was inferior valve stem seals.

Thanks for taking the time,
